Masters in Social Work

[P00057870]

Please, please, please go and talk to and interview people in the field first! Perhaps see if you could shadow someone in the field.

I know some people are called to do this job and I am truly grateful, but I have met many that were completely unhappy with the job and the politics involved, and frustrated by what they are not able to accomplish, the limited funds (again politics) for their clients needs and for their own future, etc.

I can see that you may think this is a quick way of getting to a degree but the real question for you to determine is whether this is what you want to do? If it is not, then it is a waste of time and money. Just continue working for what you really want get.
